...naive, domestic Chianti, yet amusing in its presumptuousness. Its ample aromatic nose of red fruit produces strong, ripe expressions of cherry. It nestles softly in the mouth, with a warm Gem¸tlichkeit to it. The finish is pleasing and long. The gritty tannin from the acid pits in the grapes skillfully holds it together. Yet my tongue tells me that this inchoate wine would be best consumed in a year or two. While ’97 was positively the vintage of the century, its tannin, in most cases, needs time to mature, open up and thaw...
...Virginian with a deadly gift for describing human, or at least American, types. He has written about counterculture, astronauts, Wall Street and race in the New South. But the underlying theme is always manliness. Spending some 10 years writing each of his novels Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (1968), The Right Stuff (1979), The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987) and A Man in Full (1998) are decade-defining classics.

Karl Swetland wears a yellow hat over frizzy brown hair that creeps out like Weird Al Yankovic's and a pink tie-dyed shirt reading "Red Raspberries" that compliments his acid-washed jeans perfectly. Commuters look on in wonder as the beanie babies in his guitar case stare back in equal amusement. Swetland fights for attention with the little girls across the tracks claiming they saw a rat. An old friend shows up and taps the musician on the shoulder...
...remote control. With this hairnet-like apparatus sending complex algorithmic signals into your motor cortex and parietal lobe, you'll actually feel what it's like to be slashed across the eyes by a high-sticking Tie Domi. Seated on your couch, you'll writhe in agony from lactic-acid accumulation at the end of an Ironman Triathlon. And you'll hop around your living room like a maniac as you actually experience the excruciating pain of Mike Tyson's incisors on your...
